Hi There, ok woocommerce lightbox is broken in your theme. On all other themes i have tested and the stadard 2014 theme it works just fine on simgle product page. But it is not working now. I watched all your tutorials and tried changing the uploaded image to open with lightbox and just by default and still no luck. Please advise… thanks!

nope, broken again…

So it only seems to load if there are images in the “product gallery section.” If there arent any images there, it will not load the lightbox…. :( sorry for the multiple comments

Hey Nojule, there’s no known issue with the WooCommerce lightbox even if there’s no gallery images added such as: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product/flying-ninja/

Can you supply me a URL to a page where it’s not working for you so I can check on things for you?

Cheers!

Hey Nectar,

Got a couple of little issues my man;

1. Creating the pricing table under the new page builder doesn’t seem to be behaving. It doesn’t correct for blank cells (shortens 1st and 2nd column to match cells ie doesn’t square off the bottom of the table as it should.) I’ve tried using both the shortcode generator and using the new fancy builder… driving me a little batty. ;)

2. Setting up a project gallery won’t allow Vimeo embeds to work (in “meta on hover + entire thumb link ” mode – works fine in the other mode… So I know the links are all good… (also – while on that – what the max Video Embed size – I tried 900 but its cropping my right hand side.

3. Request: LinkedIn share icon on posts would be awesome (great for business clients) not sure if there;s a way to manually add it in?

Awesome. Thanks Nectar :)

Hey again!

Shoot me an email at themenectar@gmail.com :)

Cheers

You’re the man. Awesome.

Thanks a lot! :)

Hi, I am working on the the designing process and trying to create a row look like one of your feature work, the Mobile Weather App. (the row with this picture below)

http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weather-app1.png

I noticed that this picture on the row is right-aligned, but even though I use the exact same picture I can’t get the same result. There’s always a space between. http://ppt.cc/esva

How can I change the position?

Thank you so much for replying.

Hi, thanks for the instruction, but I’ve met another problem, as the snap picture of the page (using the same picture from your demo for practicing),http://ppt.cc/-m1c

the ipad on the right still have a gap between the scroll (which didn’t exict in your demo page) http://ppt.cc/nEJT

can you teach me how to slightly move the position of the picture to the right?

hi about my question, please see this pic instead: http://ppt.cc/Neam

Hey again – you just need to either add more content into the rows like I have (the more content the bigger the image will become) or add some more row padding on the top/bottom :)

Cheers

Hi Nectar,

How can I change the text for the menu under Dashboard? I want to change the words “Nectar Slider” and “Salient” to something else.

Thanks Jag

Hey Jag!

In your functions.php file search for this line to alter:
'menu_name' => __( 'Nectar Slider', NECTAR_THEME_NAME)

Cheers :)

Hi,

Thanks, Managed to change Nectar Slider. But no luck with “Salient” Please help

Hey again – you can locate that in the options-init.php file inside of the nectar/options directory.

$args['menu_title'] = __('Salient', NECTAR_THEME_NAME);

Cheers!

I am trying to put some javascript inside nectar slider, it seems to work, but then I can’t edit it, and also have a few problems. Any solution or suggest for this. Where should I load my javascript, because I am sure right now is not secure loading the scripts from inside the caption field, but I couldn’t get it to work otherwise… current example is here http://protactapp.com

Hey ematzner!

Yeah, it’s definitely not ideal to write javascript in the caption field – I would add any custom scripting directly inside of the nectar-slider.js file in the js folder if you only need it to apply when using a slider or in the init.js file if you need it to apply on all pages :)

Cheers

Hi how do you adjust the font size of the Caption on the Home Sliders? Where can I access the code for this?

Hey TORO :)

Add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:

body #featured article .post-title h2 span {
    font-size: 40px!important;
    line-height: 65px !important;
}

everyone want a fast website, please make a fix.

Combining scripts has always required finesse, most guides will tell you take it one script a time during the process for this reason. It’s not something that’s broken in the theme, just a natural by-product of using multiple js files. Allowing minfication as an option in the theme will pose a lot of new problems so I’m strafing away from that and will probably just make a guide on combining the scripts with W3.

Also, your screenshot is clearly waiting for all of the video backgrounds to finish loading completely which is the the majority of the page size. The actual time in which the page finishes loading assets and is 100% viewable (with videos loading as they begin playing) is only around 3 seconds – to get a better idea how fast a site will load rely on Google PageSpeed :)

I use google speed test also, but it’s not showing how many secs take to load a page, only the score and things to fix.
Instead a manual, you should do a 1 click solution from admin, just for people who cares about optimization, speed and less than 30 requests if possible instead of 100+ requests.
Also I use wp super cache, it’s better than w3 total cache

This might be a silly question but hopefully you can help me out.

Regarding the themes layout, when adding columns can they stretch to the full width. for instance I would like 2/3 and 1/3 that extend to the full size of the browser. In case you are unsure of what I mean please visit http://lifeandthyme.com/ and if scroll down you can see an example of this. Is this something that can be down by adding the columns to a full width section?

Regards Allan

Hey Allan!

There is the option for making the row extend the full width like that, but the columns would need some additional css to give them the correct padding when using text like in some of the columns in your example.

Cheers :)

Is there a way of disabling the search box in the header?

Open a private ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ and let me know your ticket number here :)

I decided to go with another font in the end, one from google fonts, so it worked out.

Glad you sorted it :)

Cheers

I want my portfolio to act as my home page. When I type in my address www.rad-sd.com it brings up a blog post section. I want my portfolio to pop up instead. Any tips? Thanks guys!

Hey radsd!

You can configure your front page in Settings > Reading :)

Hi :)

Thank you so much for your responses to my previous questions.

I have another one: the size of the photo that appears on slider, full screen. We prepared an image 2000×1333 px for the full page slider, for the home page, but the image appears trimmed.

What is the real size of the image? or does it work like this: we add a big image for example 2000×1333 px, and then the program trimms it, so that in the computer screen we see a cut from the original image?

here is the website address www.mmevelo.com

Thank you!

Hey again!

There will be little clipping since that size will be optimal for most desktop displays.There’s no way to ensure 0 clipping at every screen size unless you’re adjusting the height of the slider constantly to accommodate the current screen width perfectly (which would require not using the full screen option and some custom development).

Thank you

you are simply the best

Cheers!

You’re welcome! :)

Is there a way to set my portfolio as the home page, so when someone types in my url they go straight to my portfolio instead of a “blog page”?

Hey radsd!

You can configure your front page in Settings > Reading :)

Would be possible add Ajax portfolio ?

However amazing theme

Hey kaz2057, unfortunately there’s no option for this yet so it would take custom development.

Cheers!

First of all – THANK YOU!!!! truely an amazing theme. Is there a RTL support (backend) planned in the near future? PLEASE!!

Thanks again for doing an amazing job.

Hey YakiPasandi, currently it’s on the wishlist – but there’s no ETA at this time.

Cheers :)

Hi,

We have a portfolio page (http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/portfolio/ ) where we want to showcase our recent events. We also have various Services pages (http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/services/maritime-events/ ) where we’d like to have a carousel of images at the top of the page that can be clicked on and enlarged (but with no “More Details” page available).

I assigned each service its own category (“Silo Corporate” for the Corporate Events page, etc.) and used a Recent Projects element to just show that category on the page. I was able to choose which categories I wanted displayed on the main Portfolio page and everything was kept separate. However, I just noticed that if I visit a “More Details” page for an event and use the arrow navigation, I am able to get to view the “Silo” pages which we want to be hidden (visit http://www.erinfitzpatrickdesign.com/conventures/event-portfolio/mmrf-race-for-research-series/ and click the right arrow and it will take you to one of the “Silo” image pages: “Corporate Perkins”).

Is there any way to hide certain portfolio categories from being visible when using the arrow navigation? Or is there a better way of showing the images on the individual services pages? I just couldn’t find another way of showing a carousel of images with a lightbox of the full image when clicked.

Let me know if you need more info, I know it’s kind of confusing…

Thank you!

I was originally planning to use the gallery (as it would have been easier than making a bunch of individual portfolio items), but it just wasn’t quite the style we were going for (multiple thumbnails in a full-page carousel, like the recent projects). What I ended up doing was changing the date of the hidden category entries to be earlier than the visible portfolio ones—then I just used CSS to hide the “Next” arrow on the final visible portfolio item. Not the best, but it works.

Thanks for the quick support and beautiful theme. :)

On another unrelated note, on the mobile menu, the search area says “Search..” with only two periods instead of a full ellipsis. Just FYI.

Hey again!

Glad to hear you sorted the first issue :)

As for the mobile search – if you want to add in another period open up the header.php file, search for this line:

<input type="text" name="s" value="" placeholder="'.__('Search..', NECTAR_THEME_NAME) .'" />

and change the value to whatever you desire :)

Cheers!

@robsockett

#s { font-size: 20px !important; }

@themenectar I’ve updated to the feb 11 update, removed all files and uploaded a new (it’s on localhost btw) but somehow my “Header Padding” option is not being saved. Is this a bug or do I have to break open the source :P (which is no problem btw)

Hey RedactiePartners!

No, there’s no known issue with the header padding option – is there anyway you could allow me to log in and check on everything for you?

Cheers :)

Ah no as I said it’s on localhost but thanks for the offer.

I actually solved it this morning, I tried the same files in a new install and then it worked so after inspecting my localhost folders in MAMP after I solved some permission everything was working again. So my bad! Great theme though!

Glad to hear you sorted it :)

Cheers!

Ok, I’m at my wits end and need either a fresh pair of eyes or a kick in the face. Here is the jist:

- I have a child theme for all my Salient customizations - one of these customizations if Facebook Comments, exclusively (no Jetpack) - the elements seem to be there (cursor changes on hover), but they don’t appear

Make sense? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. I have trolled through the console, CSS, everything… I got nothing.

Here is an example page: http://taketheleap.ca/2013/12/hannah-kusch/

Halp?

Well, THAT was a fun witch-hunt.

Seems the issue is this, for anyone who comes across the same problem I just did: in the default styles.css:2943, there is this: .main-content iframe[src] { opacity: 0; }

Because Facebook Comments uses an iframe the opacity is ZERO. So, to fix, I threw this into my child theme’s styles.css: .main-content .comments-section iframe[src] { opacity: 1.0; }

Bam, problem solved.

Oh, and also, this theme kicks ass. As a fellow web developer who was tired of designing his own site, I gotta say: I am over the moon with how this theme is designed, coded and easily customizable. I’d buy this six times over if I had to. Well friggin’ done to your entire design and dev team.

Thanks for much taketheleap, that means a lot!

Also, thanks for letting me know about this conflict! Will note to sort it :)

Cheers!

Hi,

Our company’s website is up and running fantastically, thank you. Small request – could I get the original CTA php somehow? I screwed it up beyond repair attempting some customization.

Thanks! Great template!

Hey!

Paste this in your footer.php above the footer-outer div:

<?php 

$options = get_option('salient'); 
global $post;
$cta_link = ( !empty($options['cta-btn-link']) ) ? $options['cta-btn-link'] : '#';

$exclude_pages = (!empty($options['exclude_cta_pages'])) ? $options['exclude_cta_pages'] : array(); 
if(!empty($options['cta-text']) && current_page_url() != $cta_link && !in_array($post->ID, $exclude_pages)) { 

$cta_btn_color = (!empty($options['cta-btn-color'])) ? $options['cta-btn-color'] : 'accent-color'; ?>

<div id="call-to-action">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="triangle" />
        <span> <?php echo $options['cta-text']; ?> </span>
        <a class="nectar-button <?php echo $cta_btn_color;?>" href="<?php echo $cta_link ?>"><?php if(!empty($options['cta-btn'])) echo $options['cta-btn']; ?> </a>
    </div>
</div>

<?php } ?>

Hi Nectar,

A Child Theme question if you don’t mind. I have tried to go through the comments here and in the support area but I am getting a little bit stuck. I have made a child theme following the instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/133585/ however when I activate it I am missing my menu items and some fonts. I haven’t made a child theme before so I am very happy that I got as far as I have. However could you assist me to get those last things working please? I have a ticket open in the support area should you need to see any back end information: Ticket #160785 Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, that link doesn’t work for me I searched the users name but didn’t find any thread on a child theme, would you mind sending it again please?

I think I found the thread you were pointing me too, I have amended the style.css file, but still don’t see my menu, I can add the menu again, but if it is supposed to be there then I must have missed something else, I look forward to your repy. Thanks

Hey again!

I’ve logged back in and assigned the menu to your main nav with your child theme active – the structure still existed, apparently just needed to be assigned :)
